The 50 yard line

So we're at midpoint now, just past the 20th week. The ultrasound reports just came in today and touch wood, everything seems to be normal! Here's a peeky peek at our little budding baby boy...

(s)he moves, he moves, he bangs...

Poetic plagiarization asides, I felt it!! I felt it move today. And now that I know my little one's gender as well, it's really hard to think of it as "it". So let's start all over again..

There I was talking to Mamata when she mentioned for the umpteenth time that the baby was on the move. I put my hand on her belly, expecting to feel ...nothing!, and then, bump. Just one solitary bump, but for the first time I wasn't guessing, or wondering what exactly it was that I was supposed to be feeling. Well, that's my baby alright, probably giving a lazy stretch! Aww... choo... chweet!

Now that did feel like a million dollars..

Did you guess right?

It's moving a lot now!!

All of this week, baby's been moving a lot. Baby's most active when I sit down or rest just after a meal. Today baby also woke me up at 7am! I guess we only have a few more weekends when we can afford to get up at 9am ;-) and we should take full advantage of those...

In 2 days, we'll know if it's a girl or a boy! How exciting...
